Hello everyone, I am wanting to upgrade my current setup to increase my speeds in Premier Pro. My current setup is listed below but I am unaware what route I should take for this task. Whether an NVME, M.2, or just a regular SSD. Budget isnt crazy tight but there is one.

Gigabyte Gaming 3 B350M

Ryzen 1700 OC'ed to 3.9

32 Gb Trident Z Ram at 2933

EVGA 1080ti

250 Gb SSD

1 TB 7200rpm HDD

    What is your media?

    How big are your projects?

    I use drones and a GH5.  Most files are 4k. As for project size, it can vary but on average id say between 20-40 Gb.

    I would suggest that you do add a M.2 PCIe x4  250 GB like a Samsung 960 EVO (about $130) to use for your current project media and project files and then when the project is finished archive them to the hard disk drive or other external media to make room for the next project.

    Did you tune your computer to eliminate all unecessary processes that steal CPU cycles?  If you would like to test your computer look at my Premiere Pro BenchMark (PPBM)
